Question paper Leakage Detection Synopsis

Upon hearing frequent news of question paper leakages news one is forced to think about
the various means and options to contribute in the effort to stop the corruption to a certain extent
by putting a stop to the leakage of the paper with the help of technology. This will not only
strengthen the society but will also give a fair chance to everyone to compete and give way to
better quality of education to all.
We propose a mechanism where the Question papers will be sent to the examination
centers in a sealed electronic box, which cannot be opened before the stipulated time.
There will be a question paper box which will have a transceiver unit, a locking and
unlocking mechyanism. All the boxes will be locked simultaneiysly by examination
administrator and he will also enter the examination date. If the box is tempared before the time,
it will generate the alarm. Once the exam time arrives, a signal will be generated from the base
station which will deactivate the lock. In case of any calamity of power failure or signal failure
even if the signal does not arrive at the receiver or the box, due to its inner timer, it will be
automatically opened.

This will enable the papers to be locked and sealed till the point in time when the papers
need to be brought out for the distribution to the students in the examination hall. The box will
have a mechanism to detect any sort of unauthorized tampering with the help of a box
tampering sensor. This will detect tampering before the stipulated time. Once the Box
tampering is detected it will raise an alarm and set a bit in the memory, with the information
about the box tampering. Once the boxes are returned to the examination center or to the Base
station for correction it will then be connected to the PC to detect any tampering which might
have taken place earlier.
